I’m all for rehabilitation, but make them pay back the money for the HGV lessons like we had to pay for ours.
As for litter picking,me,I would make prisoners sort rubbish out,all the stuff that people haven’t recycled properly. Not pleasant,but it would act as a deterrent from ending up in jail.
Trouble with all this free prison labour is you put someone out of a job or undercut their wages. Thats why it never works in the USA but is still popular among business owners prison labour undercuts everyone else.
